     List active constraints as workflow commands that re-create them; this list
     can be copied to a file, and then reloaded using the `script` built-in

-``fix-job-postings [dry-run]``
-    Fixes crashes caused by the version of workflow released with DFHack
-    0.40.24-r4. It will be run automatically if needed. If your save has never
-    been run with this version, you will never need this command. Specify the
-    ``dry-run`` keyword to see what this command would do without making any
-    changes to game state.
